Can I Go Green and make a Difference?

2007-12-03T20:16:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone,

It's been quite some time since I've posted here. I have been busy however. Going Green seems to have surfaced everywhere. So much so that hardly an episode of a new TV show goes by where someone doesn't mention it. In my opinion however, to most, it's a punch line at a party. Most people are talking about it, most are doing nothing. I myself have "gone green" as it has made sense to do so in my own life. The question is, can an individual or a family "Go Green" and actually make a difference? I believe one can.

Did you know that over 80,000 new harmful and potentially dangerous chemicals have been approved for use in household cleaners in the past 10 years? Did you also know that bronchitis, asthma and chemical sensitivity are on the rise in a big way. How about the fact that a woman who stays home all day is 50% more likely to die of cancer. HMMM, just coincidence? I don't think so. I have aligned my self with a company that has allowed me to remove all the harmful chemicals in my home with non-toxic, non allergenic all, natural cleaners that work as good or better than sore bought. They are also more economical. They are safe for my family and do not add harmful chemicals into the atmosphere and reduce landfill, trucking pollution and more. Maybe it won't change the world, but in my small way, I made a choice and you can too! Let me know if you would like a free sample. I would be glad to send you one. Nice to be back, and remember...Go Green!

PayitForward4Profits - A Blueprint for Success in MLM

2007-05-01T18:26:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Multi-level marketing (MLM), also sometimes referred to as network marketing (or NM) is a kind of business model that puts into play direct marketing along with the opportunity for franchising. Pairing up with a parent company each person that joins signs on to become an independent contractor or a franchisee and money can be made based on how many sales the person makes as well as how many people that person can introduce into the company. It works very much like a pyramid effect. Unfortunately there are forms of MLM that are nothing more than scams so it is essential to research any form of MLM before you commit yourself to it. PayitForward4Profits is a fantastic way to make the system of MLM work as efficiently as it is able to and the amount of residual income a person can earn is tremendous. One such company that puts the PayitForward4Profits system into play is Success University, which lives up to its name very easily. There are so many advantages to PayitForward4Profits (which is sometimes coined the "funded sponsoring franchise system") that it is catching on all across the globe. Why would anyone not want to become a part of this kind of MLM? First of all it is free to join and it will work for any type of affiliate program as well as any kind of network marketing company. Even if you have little if any marketing experience or specifically online marketing experience, it can still work for you just fine because it is not a difficult concept to understand. You can build large downlines with PayitForward4Profits and receive free leads and free advertising. To use the payitforward system you need to target people who are in the same industry as you are in whatever it may be and then put your network marketing strategy to work. Sometimes the best way to start is to find your way to social networking websites where you can gauge the interest of others and where you are guaranteed to find some people who will share the same interests as you do. MLM companies have been growing in popularity since the 1980s and the Internet has ushered in a whole new way to do business. MLM companies are responsible for taking orders from customers and then shipping the products and sending out commissions to all of the independent contractors. Payitforward has added another dimension to the equation.

PayitForward4ProfitsWinners - New Program!

2007-04-08T21:22:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Star Commander 5 ( Dave) here! I have my very own, brand new, double top secret pre-launch program. I have all the doors locked, cameras and video off. The name of the program is "Do Absolutely Nothing and Become filthy Rich". I am so incredibly intelligent and talented that I have cracked every internet money making secret in the entire world. This I have done in only 2 hours. I am only eighteen years old and bought my first computer 1 week ago. I am now so wealthy, that banks are refusing my money - they cut me off, can you believe it??? What am I going to do. I have to start sharing my secrets, I guess I'm so good, my top secrets won't even help my anymore. Owning 32 Ferarri's is kinda ridiculous! This program is so powerful, when a person reads the first 10 words, they immediately reach for their credit cards, check books, and more! Many have mortgaged their homes, still hoping there is a place in line so they can get in. I really wish I could help everyone, It's just that I'm so popular and busy, I run out of time.

So you ask, what is your secret, o Guru Star Commander 5 Dave? Quite simple, my loyal followers. I joined every program I could think of that promised the moon, stars, universe, (not necessarily in that order - (the order is still double top secret) Then I prayed to the God of help the ignorant and gullable..............and he said.................buy a lottery ticket, the Mega Game, 1 quick pick, on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. He said son, not to hurt your feelings, but you don't have a prayer to make any money doing what you're doing. You don't have the sense I gave ya. A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place. The moral of the story, join Payitforward4Profits, work hard, learn a lot, be teachable, and leave your bad attitude at home. It ain't free, but it works. You can make a solid residual long term income with both. Thanks and hope all had a safe holiday.

PayitForward4ProfitsWinners - Keyword Research

2007-04-07T22:43:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,

To be any kind of marketer these days, extensive keyword research is so essential. Not only that, but understanding the data you are retrieving. I recently opened an account with WordTracker. It's a subscription service. I'm told the best available. A campaign with improperly done keyword research is doomed from the start. How many people search for your term or terms? How many related websites are built on the keyword or words you are contemplating using? What do their websites look like? What is their Google pagerank? You can find huge "holes" in very popular niches and areas of interest if you do the correct research. Familiar with long tail keywords? Check out Hit Tail. There are so many cool tools available. Take surveys, in forums, ask questions. Find out who your market is and what they want and then give it to them, in spades! Did, dig, dig, the answers may surprise you. Sometimes my keyword research takes me in new directions. I find something better. To your continued success!

PayitForward4ProfitsWinners - Members and Attitudes

2007-04-02T22:32:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,

I want to talk a little about attitude. Some of the worst I've seen is in forums, bad attitudes spread like a cancer. They can take a perfectly good attitude and warp it beyond repair. Avoid it like the plague! You will sometimes run across bad attitudes with members, they complain about every little thing, to their own ultimate demise. They get stopped and blocked feeding on the "seeming injustice" of one sort or another, technical issues, something that doesn't go their way, a bad day, the fact that they're not rich 2 weeks after joining. With anything, there is a learning curve and everything is not perfect, PIFP is no exception. My computer recently crashed, I had to do a restore back to factory settings. I lost some things in the process etc. But the upshot is it runs like brand new! I got rid of a bunch of stuff I didn't need. PIFP's back office isn't flawless, every training niche isn't perfectly listed and spelled out for each members best understanding. But it's pretty darn impressive, vast, and most importantly, free! Don't get me wrong, there are frustrations, I have to help members through the learning curve and through technical issues, so will you if you're any kind of an upline. You need to distinguish between a member who is just frustrated and needs help or just needs to vent and the loser who can't be saved at any cost. I've let some go, they'll fail wherever they go. The true winner works through any and all issues no matter what, yes, this is work. Ask any successful person how many times they failed and how many times they stumbled, how many times they almost quit, I guarantee, the answer will surprise you. We keep going forward. To your upward continued financial success! Thanks.

PayitForward4ProfitsWinners - The Power of Autoresponders

2007-04-01T21:26:00.000-05:00

Good evening all,

In PayitForward4Profits we use 2 autoresponders, Response Magic and Traffic Oasis. Response Magic is used for all the advertising we do of our websites. The sign-ups are captured into the responder and they new members receive pre-written messages prompting them to begin upgrading into the programs. The messages also get the folks thinking, we try to inspire them, letting them know that they really can be financially free. The second way the responders can be used is either to insert letters of our own writing, such as a message about our primary program. I use one that says "25 positions available" to be personally mentored, I talk about the commissions and a little about the company, not too much though, just enough so they are dying to get in without even knowing what the company is. This one is very effective. I use another that states I will pay the first month's GDI as a reimbursement once they've paid. The philosophy behind this is when I run a heavy Google Adwords campaign that brings in a lot of sign-ups, I can get the GDI fast start bonuses. Make sure you stay true to your word on this. I'll spend $50.00 to get a hundred any day. Another use for the responder is to send broadcast messages when ever I like. Sometimes it's business building tips etc , or to remind members about the Saturday Morning Breakfast Call. Sometimes just to let everyone know I'm available for assistance. If you want to be a leader, you need to be available for your members. That's all for tonight. Thanks.

PayitForward4ProfitsWinners - The Battle of the Downliners

2007-03-30T20:14:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,

I've been absent as of late. I have a new venture I'm beginning, something I've always wanted to do online, some serious publishing. I didn't have the skills until recently. I've joined a consortium of masterminds. I'll revert more soon as I proceed.

Anyway, one of the true joys of a successful network marketing business is when you get a couple of downline members on fire for the business. I have 2 now, 1 gentleman out of Queensland, Australia, and another Australian with an Irish last name who now resides in Nebraska of all places. Every single day I log into my PIFP back office and watch their new members increase. I've told them of each other and the race is on! My new friend from Australia would very much like to join my primary business, unfortunately it is not yet available there yet. I've advised him to use Success University as his primary business in the meantime, as some do. The residual income from that and Traffic Oasis can grow to fairly substantial income as memberships increase. One is struggling with Google Adwords, but he's new and Adwords takes some mastering as we know. That's all for today, good to be back. To your success!

PayitForward4Profits - The Rich Jerk - Opinions?

2007-03-19T21:34:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone,

I couldn't help myself. I told myself I wasn't going to talk about it. If you have any kind of connection with the online marketing community you've been recently assaulted with news of the Rich Jerk's new program launch tomorrow. Any intelligent person should know that the whole Rich Jerk "persona" is just a marketing package geared towards a particular audience segment or market. I'll give him this, he stirs quite a buzz. I recently received an email from a trusted marketer of status who shall remain nameless who recently spent time with our obnoxious friend and said he's actually a nice enough normal guy type which may be true. Personally I think it's ridiculous, sure, the concept makes a lot of money, but I could do without the language and whole juvenile image. The people who follow all of this and come back for more tells us a lot about our society or at least a segment of it. I recently had a gentleman who seemed seriously interested in joining a much more established and credible opportunity I had to offer, which presents quite a different image, he had been talking about the Rich Jerk and how he was seriously considering buying in, had been talking regularly to someone trying to get him to join etc. I guess he did, you know what, that's fine. Maybe I didn't call him a loser enough or insult him enough. I wish him the best. I have looked at some of our rude friend's offerings, and while some of it may even work, I can't recommend or endorse it and I won't. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who will stay up all night, excercising their mouse clicking skills to be at the ready at launch time tomorrow to make sure they don't get left behind, kinda like people camping out at Best Buy for the new Play Station or Xbox, at least with that if you are one the "lucky blessed ones" you can turn around an list your prize on Ebay and guarantee yourself a quick couple thousand! Thanks Rich Jerk, but no thanks, I'll just have to do without, I'll say a prayer for the souls of mankind and our industry that we don't breed any more like this, our society has enough problems without breeding more to think acting like the Rich Jerk is acceptable. There, I've said my piece, good night all!

Payitforward4Profits - Leveraging Your Time

2007-03-18T20:38:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,

One of the things it will do you well early in the game is to learn to leverage your time. Members will start to contact you asking how to do things. You should by all means help them. There does become a point however when you will get members who want you to do everything for them, like tell you exactly what ads to run and where and a host of other things. This I will not do. You have to draw the line somewhere. I had a guy a little while back who barely had computer skills. He didn't know how to cut and paste for example. I had to let him go. It's up to you, but we need members who are going to take the "bull by the horn". Sure, in the beginning, I had to reach out for help on a few issues, but I have done most of it on my own. For example, I have never blogged before in my life. This Blog now has an Alexa rating of under 500,000. I have put a considerable amount of time into this Blog, I sincerely hope some of it has helped someone, actually I have had some very positive comments and some link exchange requests. I have never run a Google Adwords campaign, set up an autoresponder, etc. This is my first serious attempt at network marketing and I am making money. I have put a lot of work into my business and have spent a lot of time learning. If you have a member who wants you to do everything, maybe a few, that's where you will spend a great deal of your time. Your business growth will be stunted and you're sure not doing these people any favors, they will never be large downline builders. Most of my time now is spent on Adwords campaigns, artricle publishing, Blogging, and learning. My advise based on experience is help everyone, but not to the detriment of you own business and making money, and not when you are not helping others in the long run. Encourage members to use the success guide that's laid out for us, attend live training calls, especially the Saturday Morning Breakfast Call, and the forums. Success University is also encouraged. Some of this may seem contrary to my previous posts, but help people in the big picture. That is the kindest act of all. Feed a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. Thanks.

Domains for Profit

2007-03-16T22:06:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,

Domains for profit is becoming ever popular. I have interest in "virtual real estate" among other things. I own a small number of domains, some of them have active websites, some not yet. There are 2 particular registrants I use, GoDaddy of course at http://www.godaddy.com
and I've gained a new interest in a site called Moniker at http://www.moniker.com. Moniker is in the business of domains as an investment. A carefully chosen domain can be a wise investment indeed. Some have gone for over $1,00.000.00. The dot com domains are getting harder and harder to come by. There are tons for sale on Ebay as well, some with verified Google page rank. The dot com's can be purchased/registered for about $10.00 / year. I am also a publisher and have a number of monetized sites with Adsense ads and other affiliate links. Large corporations are getting in on the action as long term investment strategies. I had a conversation with a gentleman selling some domains on Ebay, he and his wife had purchased some 1300 hundred of them! He had developed a number of them into websites and is now earning a 6 figure income and selling off some of his "extra stock" I love the internet, the possibilities for making money are endless. Thanks!

Payitforward4Profits - The Law of Attraction - The Final Chapter

2007-03-15T23:10:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,

It's a funny thing, this "Law of Attraction" The more I practice what I preach, the more good things come my way. More new members are joining my PayitForward4Profits downline. Out of the blue, money making opportunities are just "showing up" They are coming from some very unlikely places. One thing that is always in my morning prayer is, God, let me be of service today to someone, somehow, some way. And can you imagine? The opportunities appear, not things for my benefit, but for the benefit of others. My sister has a very wealthy neighbor who owns a business. He is always doing for others. Recently he won the lottery, not a huge amount, but a few thousand dollars. Immediately upon winning the money, he went to a friend who was having financial troubles and needed a new transmission for her car and said, here, take the money. My sister takes care of their kids on occasion, when she goes to his store, her money is no good. He constantly brings things to their house. One day my sister asked him, Victor, what is your biggest fear in life? He answered.....not being able to help people anymore. Victor never wants for anything. I wonder why that is...............hmmmm.

Payitforward4Profits - The Law of Attraction - Part - 2

2007-03-13T22:03:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,
I've been thinking a lot about this post, some of the things I know to be true and use in my own life may seem "out there"I've always known that I've lived on a little different plane that most people, I'm just wired that way. It's a gift in one way and on the other hand a hindrance, don't connect sometimes the way others do, hard to explain. I'm not alone though, once in a while I run across like minded people. Anyway, we attract what we think about, you need to determine what it is you really desire. Then start to visualize what you life will be like when you achieve your goal. I'm using this in regards to making money, specifically making money online, with PayitForward4Profits. Picture the house you will live in and where, your vehicles, who will be in your life, the more clearly you see these things in your "minds eye", the closer you get to your new life. Some people start a scrap book of sorts, with pictures of all the things in their new life in it. Somehow it just doesn't work if your desires are vague, like, I just want to be wealthy. It's likened to prayer, be as specific as you can. Start to feel how your new life will feel, conversations you will have with people etc. What would you really do with your life if money and finances weren't an issue? It also helps if you are passionate about something, something with an emotional tie. Maybe you want to send your children to a good school, make sure your family never has to worry about money ever again, maybe a charitable endeavor, or a deed of philanthropy, aim high! All you want and need is available for the asking. Be extremely passionate and never, ever give up. Obstacles are just something where a better solution needs to be found. Delete from your vocabulary can't, should, would, maybe, might. Use will, do, can, always. Always leave everything better than you found it, always help everyone. In all business dealings, always give a person more than they give you, sound odd, consciously try this for 30 days, you'll be surprised. Feel and act like you're already living your new life. Ever hear the term act as if? Talk health happiness and success to everyone you meet. Avoid negative people. These are not all my original thoughts, many were learned in material from the previous post and other sources. Remember, the universe will give you what you think about, good, bad, or otherwise. This takes practice and diligence, a lot of unprogramming needs to be done. We tend to live our lives accepting the beliefs that have been handed to us from family, friends, co-workers television and other media. Those are their beliefs, not yours. To your success!

PayitForward4Profits - The Law of Attraction - Part - 1

2007-03-11T21:24:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

We attract what we think about. I've always known this on some subtle level. I've been studying the laws of attraction for some time now. The more I become interested in the subject, the more material about it just " shows up" I received a message from TrafficSwarm yesterday about a new program, I chose not to join, at least for now, and the woman gave me as free e-book called "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles, absolutely fascinating. I first became interested in the subject through Wayne Dyer, his book called "The Power of Intention" This is easily one of the best books I've ever read and I recommend it highly to anyone interested in changing their lives for the better and I'm not talking about just making money. There is also the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. In all of these books, we are taught that we have to radically change the way we think. I am a firm believer through much study that there is a universal energy and life force which works by certain and predictable principles. Abundance is there for the taking as long as it's by good, well intentioned and unselfish principles. Of course some acquire wealth by others means, a topic to be discussed down the road. The universe doesn't care if we have more or less, but it will provide that which we think about, if you believe money is in short supply and spend a lot of time worrying about poverty, that's what you will get. If you believe you are and will be wealthy, the world will again deliver. What is your vision, what do you think about? It may seem I'm off on a tangent, I assure you I'm not. This was a foreign concept when I began. Stay tuned as I will continue the topic.

PayitForward4Profits - Being Self Employed

2007-03-10T20:26:00.000-06:00

The business is going well. The earnings are starting to be substantial. Should I quit my job?
Do you have the components necessary to be self employed? If you have motivation, drive , consistency, and are goal oriented, then you be on the right path and may have what it takes. . If setbacks from potential members, members who are achievers quit, and those who criticize your ideas do not keep you from trying, but perhaps are actually motivating you to try harder, then you are most certainly on your way to success. Lets talk about financial ability to see it through – are you ready? Can you handle a computer crash or other equipment failure, losing files or data, and the need for upgraded equipment without having to max your credit cards? Can you pay all of your bills for 3 months?If you answered yes to the first two questions you may be well on your way to self employment, yet you are not quite there! There are still some problems associated with being self employed that you need to be aware of before firing your current employer.One of the biggest factors is the IRS. This alone may be sufficient to drive the fear of doing business into even the toughest of entrepreneurs, and you may be no exception. After all, you will need to be meticulously organized and instead of only paying taxes once a year, you may find yourself paying taxes every quarter. Furthermore, you will need to be prepared to pay your Medicare and FICA . previously it was your boss’s responsibility. What about health insurance, 401K? Before you make the plunge, make sure you have considered all of these factors. On a personal note, self employment for those with families has another set of problems. A steady paycheck keeps a family supported and many money worries nonexistent, while self employment may mean unsteady cashflow. Are your family members willing to help you achieve your dreams of working from home? Will they endure sacrifice? Do they understand the implications of no longer being able to count on direct deposit in the bank on a regular and predictable basis? Everyone involved needs to know what the changes will mean and get on board with you. Failure to present the honest facts will result in misgivings, feelings of betrayal, and an increase in stress, you may find yourself scouring the help wanted ads just to keep peace in the family. Facing these issues ahead of time means no surprises and if agreed by all you will have the support you need to realize your dreams. You may find family members may want to be part of the dream realization process and some members may have special talents or skills to help you on the way. A lot that needs to be considered, huh? Thanks.

PayitForward4Profits - Article Publishing

2007-03-09T06:51:00.000-06:00

Hi Everyone,

One of the best ways I know of to build a long term internet presence and to build long term consistent traffic to your website is through article publishing. Search engines, especially Google love content, not just any content though, it must be original content. Regular submisssion off quality articles to article directories will begin to establish you as an expert and someone to be trusted. Bloggers search these types of places for content to use on their websites. This is better than PPC in many ways because these are much more permanent advertisements. It's more cost effective. This can be done over time and the results may surprise you. It can be tough to consistently come up with good quality material. Check out the following site. This has been a huge help to me. http://www.articlemavens.com. They offer a variety of services and plans to fit different needs and their service is outstanding. Maybe you are looking for content for a Blog or content for a website. You might need articles to publish to the article directories, maybe you are a good writer and just need submission services. You will find all of their resources here. There are no get rich quick schemes or shortcuts to consistently make money online. It takes hard work and diligence. The only information I post here are things I know work, based on personal experience. Thanks and have a great weekend everyone!

PayitForward4Profits - The Home Business advantages

2007-03-08T11:16:00.001-06:00

Hi everyone,
A lot of people are breaking out of corporate jobs and the 9-5 routine these days. The government states there are 300,000,000 ( yes that's million) people every year looking to start a home based business. Spending days trapped is a maze of portable walls and cubicles is past tense for todays entrepeneurs

So what are some of the perks to having a home based business?? For Starters, you can keep your own hours. Your schedule is as flexible as you are. Need to see the doctor? Make your appointment for whenever. No more waiting around for that first appointment of the day or trying to find an office open after five. Kids have a mid-week soccer game? No problem. Better yet, you know that cable repairman that says he’ll show up sometime between 10 am and 4 pm? You can tell him, “ perfect.” and really mean it because you’re home all day anyways. Working from home means that you can now embrace that chronic insomnia that made you late for traditional jobs and left you dozing off during meetings.

Just think of all the money you save by working from home. There’s no need to buy that new suit and impressive pair of heels. Your cat doesn’t care how professional you look. You can work naked if that floats your boat, ( just make sure the blinds are closed or you might get unsolicited visits from your neighbors). You can save a bundle by eating last night’s leftovers for lunch and buying snacks in bulk at the grocery store instead of making trips to gas stations and fast food joints. Pay on average $0.35 fora a soda instead of $1.19 and watch the saving add up in a year’s time. You might even save enough to buy your own cappuccino maker and say goodbye to your local $4-a-cup coffee shop.

Remember the last time you took your car in for a tune up and the mechanic told you to start car shopping, immediately. Just think of how long your vehicle will last without those daily trips to and from work. Save gas money, get your oil changed twice a year, never replace your tires again! All great perks that add up when owning a home based business. The government also gives home businesses fringe benefits in the form of tax breaks. Now, buying that computer you’ve been married to for months is actually good for business, it can mean better tax breaks at the end of the year. Get money back for your telephone bill, rent and other overhead expenses. And believe it or not, it’s completely legal. The benefits of basing a business from your home are nearly countless. If a traditional office environment is leaving you stagnant, a home business may be just what the doctor ordered.

My Primary - Enrolling New Members - Advanced Mentoring Team

2007-03-05T20:55:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone,

I've had an enjoyable evening on the phone tonight. I was calling leads. Our whole process is so simple and effective, sometimes I can't believe it is. Nomally we call a prospect, have them go to our website and listen to a 30 minute presentation and have them call us back. We don't have to sell anything. The people who see the real value in this opportunity and our marketing method (child simple) get excited and call back and our ready to go. Sometimes, like tonight, I had a very casual conversation with someone and have a fast start pack enrollee without even sending them to the website. I had a few people shuffle me off the phone, stating they already found something, not interested etc. That's o.k., no presuure whatsoever. I had a few more excited after just talking, they'll listen to the presentation and odds are good they will sign up. It just doesn't get any better. It's very easy to talk about this company, the company has a stellar reputation, stellar products, and a 50 year rock sold history. I ask you, what's not to like. Did I mention the generous residual commission plan. I'm just sorry I hadn't found this years ago. To your continued success!

Making the Most of PayitForward4Profits as a Business

2007-03-03T09:08:00.000-06:00

Good morning all.

The Internet is the home of the business opportunity advertisement. While some are scams, others do have the potential of netting you a tidy sum. Once you have found such an opportunity, it is important that you make the most of it – but to do so wisely, you will need to observe a few tips and tricks that will not only help you to earn money, but also protect you from losing any of your hard earned money in the process.
When you are starting out in pursuit of your business opportunity, you will need to juggle your full time job and your PayitForward4Profits pursuit. While it might be tempting to throw caution to the wind, quit your job and pursue the opportunity full time, it is extremely unwise to do so. You will still have bills, and if you have a family, it is unfair to expect them to suddenly make do without the extras they have come to appreciate and expect. Instead, go ahead and work your regular job while expanding on your business opportunity. This will prevent you from having to give up after a few unsuccessful months aftermaxing out your credit cards.
Building a business takes time, and if you involve friends and family, you will probably be able to do so a lot faster. Of course, this should not mean that you try to peddle your PayitForward business opportunity at every family reunion. Instead, you might be able to involve some family members in the business end itself. Do you need help with taxes? Maybe an aunt is good at doing them! If you have a stay at home dad who is willing to do some work in exchange for a bit of money, these headaches could be taken away from you. In short, rare is the entrepreneur who makes money all by her or himself from the basement, yet plentiful is the entrepreneur who – with the help of friends and family – succeeded!
Your business opportunity requires exposure, yet there is more to advertising than paying for a three by five ad in the local rag. Instead, attend trade shows, hand out flyers, print up business cards (not the free ones that carry another company’s logo on the back) and network with other entrepreneurs. Do not stay home when you are trying to build a business, but instead go to where the business world is located and get out the word! This ensures that you will truly make the most of promoting your business opportunity without having to spend money you may not yet have earned on costly advertisements that may not be as effective as you had hoped.

Blog and Website Owners - Be Aware of Pitfalls in Affiliate Marketing

2007-03-02T18:39:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

While we as Blog owners may be the favorite target for Internet scammers, website owners are a close second. You own a website and are possibly paying fees to keep the site running. Do you not wish you could monetize the website you work so hard to maintain? Imagine how wonderful it would be if you could earn extra money to pay for the website, hosting etc, but even offer you a few extras that could be put to good use for the kids, or your family. To the webmaster, affiliate marketing is almost always the answer to this dilemma. In and of itself, affiliate marketing is a wonderful opportunity share in the profits of a reputable company by displaying their links and banners, and allowing interested parties to visit those sites and maybe purchase a product. When they do so, the company will often offer you a small percentage of the sale as a finder’s fee.
Unfortunately there is a bit of a seediness and negative undertones to the affiliate marketing industry that will actually jeopardize your good name as a webmaster and will also result in payouts that are pennies on the dollar. For example, have you ever been surfing the web only to suddenly stumble across a website that makes claims an amazing nutritional supplement that does it all? Weight loss for the overweight, hair growth for the bald, an increased sexual stamina for those lacking it and a host of other items are cured or corrected with a pill after breakfast, lunch and dinner. These miracle cures are proclaimed on the website via a long list of testimonials, and you can almost always recognize the feel of these sites simply by the long list of text they sport, the varying fonts employed, and also the different colors these words are written in. you may simply shrug your shoulders at such a site until – about halfway down – you see a copy of a commission check the webmaster has posted and suddenly he or she has your undivided attention. The check is small enough to be realistic yet big enough to have you consider what you could to with the money and how it could ease the tension at home from lack of disposable income while you are building your business and working towards profitability.
When you are hooked, the spiel usually involves a site owner who is so successful that he or she has decided to take on two or three qualified novices and train them to do the business as well. This involves selling the miracle product to your friends and neighbors and then just sitting back and waiting for the cash to tumble in. In addition, you will need to post banners on your website. What has just happened, in a nutshell, is an affiliate scam that ties your success directly into a multi-level marketing scheme. MLM is a wonderful opportunity, but be careful whose links you display on your precious virtual real estate. While your links will attract more interested parties to the originator’s website, you are meanwhile alienating your trusting members and geniunely interested prospects by the legal drugs you are peddling. This is not what affiliate marketing is all about, and it is important that you understand the implications of your putting links or banners of any business on your website. Have a great weekend everyone!

2007-02-25T09:29:00.000-06:00

Good morning,

Average People are creating fortunes quickly with the best kept secret in MLM. Yes, this is my primary business. This company has been in business for 50 years and is the first MLM company in existence. It is also the first nutritional supplement company in existence. Their products are second to none.

Our advanced mentoring team has a very unique and effective way to market this sleeping giant. Roger Barnett, the visionary billionaire is now at the helm and has huge international expansion plans. Now I ask you, where will you put your trust and faith? In some ridiculous pre-launch feeding frenzy with some company that won't exist in 6 months? Not me. This company is a clear winner. Their legal dept. prohibits mention of their name directly on the internet, I was just informed. I you are interested me, email for details. Come and join us, you'll be glad you did.

PIFP and MLM - Leveling the Playing Field

2007-02-24T14:42:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone,

Good to be back. I don't post every day like I should. I try only to post when I'm inspired or have something good to say. I was on the Saturday Morning Breakfast Call this morning and heard a good speaker , Gary Eby. He talked a lot about your "Why". Your "Why" is so important. You have to have a reason for starting your business and some emotional tie to get you through the difficult times and slumps, something inspiring. He talked about a gentleman who wanted to help starving children in Africa in the worst way. H was able to send a check to buy 300,000 meals for those children in need through the successes in his network marketing business. Most of us probably won't have a story like that, but you get the point. Maybe you want to send your children to college, or build a home in the country, etc.

PayitForward4Profits and MLM and network marketing level the playing field. We are not limited to the success we can achieve or the amount of income we can achieve. We can earn more money than our boss, or the upline member who introduced us to the opportunity we are promoting. We are compensated for our efforts directly, not slotted and judged into a level determined by corporate America or a boss for a particular salary cap or position. We are not destined to a life of mediocrity. Don't let others decide for you your position in life. There is still a frontier and opportunity that allows you to be who you want to be in life and where. He mentioned other master speakers such as Jim Rohn and Zig Zigler. I would highly suggest to start to study these people and their philosophies and dig deep into your own heart. Dreams don't have to be pipe dreams. They can become your reality! Thanks.

Payitforward4Profits - New Devleopements

2007-02-15T21:42:00.000-06:00

Hi Everyone,

I'm getting very motivated and excited. My new Adwords campaign is starting to produce some qualit members. My downline is growing like crazy! The members are upgrading and joining the programs. I'm starting to figure out what makes it tick. Even more exciting is the new developements in our primary business. PayitForward4profits is a "we" program for all who don't know that. We no longer have to rely strictly on our Payitforward list to bring members into our primary. We can run ads on Google, TrafficSwarm and just about anywhere for that matter. I will provide some details in the coming days. All I can say is it's genious! This is why were all here. Long term passive residual income. I'm ecstatic with the way things are going. Have a great weekend everyone!

Payitforward4Profits - Autoresponders and Your Business

2007-02-12T20:49:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

I tried to post last night and there was a Blogger error, lost my post and was too tired to start over, long day. Anyway, as you know, PayitForward4Profits has 3 autoresponders, Response Magic and Traffic Oasis. They are both excellent and serve their purpose well. If you remember from an earlier post, ResponseMagic handles all the leads from your advertising and Traffic Oasis comes with leads every month. Both have pre-loaded letters, which are excellent I might add. Paul Birdsall and Joel Broughton are master copywriters. I get sign-ups from both as they are. However, remember, this is about relationship building. These people receiving the letters don't know anything about you. To get the maximum benefit, you can send broadcasts with both systems, meaning they can both be used to send personal messages. let people get to know you, ask them questions, send emails about interesting articles you may have read online regarding business on interesting topics. Send emails with tips on things you are finding that work. I guarantee your response will increase dramatically, be creative and have fun with it. Invite them to training calls, get involved.... and prosper! To your continued success!

PayitForward4Profits - Another New campaign

2007-01-31T21:43:00.000-06:00

Hello everyone,

I haven't posted in a little while. My corporate job has been getting the best of me lately. We're going through a merger. It's a huge company, many top level people left when they heard of the buyout / merger. Now I know why! Never again for me! I can say I've been a little burned out and uninspired. Enough of that. I have a new campaign. A program that offers a lot for very little investment. It's called 2till profit. My payitforward sponsor found it, we are splitting an executive membership for less that $30. / month. It actually looks very promising. It has many features and I will go into more detail on another post. I've also learned something in the last couple of weeks - I need to pace myself better. My SpinSubmit campaign should start to kick in soon and I have a bunch of new members I should see shortly from PayitForward's advertising co-op. I will soon begin a campaign on 2 pay per clicks I have accounts with and a lot of dollars to use through SpinSubmit. I've also began to do away with promotions that are fruitless. I guess in a sense I'm going through some re-organization and evaluation of my business. Things are going well, but they can always be better. See you soon!

PayitForward4Profits - MIMT Training

2007-01-22T20:25:00.000-06:00

Good evening all,

I've been on the Advanced Mentoring Team training tonight. What I like about it among other things is our primary business can be shown to anyone looking for a home based business. We offer 3 levels of participation and we present to leads other than just PayitForward members. We made some live calls tonight It's very low key and very low pressure. I owned telemarketing companies years ago so I have a Knowledge base to work from. We do this in steps so potential parners can get educated and have time to think what their level of participation will be, if any. I'm very impressed with the whole process and what we have to offer can appeal to anyone, from a business level and a product level. We have the ability to help people on multiple levels. Have to run, have an Adwords campaign to work on with my PIFP sponsor. Have a great night all!

PayitForward4Profits - Google Adwords

2007-01-21T20:05:00.000-06:00

Hello all,

Hope business is well for everybody. On a side note, today was a good day in one respect. The Chicago Bears beat the New Orleans Saints, yes I'm from Chicago, and a Bears fan. In all sincerity, too bad for the Saints after all they went through and are still going through due to Hurricane Katrina, an especially sensitive topic for me, I lived in New Orleans for a couple of years, I developed a fondness for that city and it's people. The Saints did an amazing job considering their set backs. Anyway, I've been working on my Adwords campaigns with the aid of Perry Marshall's book, Definitive Guide to Google Adwords. Yesterday I had 5 sign-ups out of 10 clicks at about $1.50 / click. A terrible click through rate however. Today I added a few countries and went from broad search to exact search with dismal results. A high click through rate but 16 clicks, no sign ups. Back to the Definitive Guide. Google Adwords mastery takes a lot of tweaking, learning and patience. It can be very rewarding and also very frustrating at times. Still my favorite place on the internet to advertise. Adwords campaigns will be a serious focus going forward. So will starting to work on my primary business as well as starting to work the forums. Lets start our week out right, with focus! Thanks.

PayitForward4Profits - Primary Business

2007-01-18T22:49:00.000-06:00

Good evening,

This really is what PayitForwad4Profits is all about. One key thing I've learned in PIFP is the elements to look for in a primary business. I have a site which will help you do that.
https://www.masteringyourprimary.com/cgi-bin/team.cgi?id=Da1042&action=new10

Sorry for the long link. One key question you need to ask yourself is does your primary offer a product or service that a person would want or use even if there is no income opportunity. How long has your primary been in business? Do they have debt? There are some other important factors. The link has a presentation that will walk you through it. ad it not been for this, I wouldn't have chosen the primary I did. Let me ask you this, how many members does it take in your primary's downline to generate $10,000 / month? Mine would be 340! My primary has been in business for 50 years, pretty impressive.To your success...and mine !

PayitForward4Profits - Relationship Building

2007-01-15T22:09:00.000-06:00

Hi everybody,

I can't stress this enough. I've spent a lot of time on the phone with some newer members lately. I culd have been spending the time building my business, by bringing in more new members. No, wait, I am building my business! Contrary to the popular belief of many, we're not selling and promoting products and/or services. If that's what you think, you won't get very far and you will have to work so much harder. I can guarantee you, when I spend time talking with people, getting to know them on a personal level, that member has much higher chance of sticking around, they will brave the tough times. I learned that lesson a long time ago. I know about their lives, their families, their struggles, and they know about mine. Sure, my advertising and websites brought them to me.... catch that last part...I don't have to chase after anyone. But the reason many stay and work at this is us! Sell yourself, get to know people. I've built many very rewarding relationship with business associates. In my real world business, much of what I'm able to accomplish is because of who I know and the types of relationships I have with them. You can also learn from every single person you meet, if you're paying attention. I've learned some amazing things from brand new members, something they say gives me a tremendous idea of how to do something different. Some people just want numbers, or how to's, give it to them! Learn to read people, what makes them tick. You can't spend all of your time doing this of course, you will find some who just want to talk and take up large chunks of your time, be careful, but don't lose out on the benefits of getting to know some interesting and fascinating people. Thanks to all.

PayitForward4Profits - Working With Members

2007-01-10T22:07:00.000-06:00

Good evening all,

It's been an interesting couple of days. I've gotten a little side tracked spending a lot of time working with new members. It's o.k. though. No matter what business you're in, it's all about people and relationship building ad helping others. I have some members that don't have a lot of computer skills that I take for granted. This is where we "PayitForward" If I have a member that puts forth the effort, I will make tiome to help and teach them. The whole point of network marketing is to build an organization of members who can stand on their own and duplicate what we do. The power of many will produce a much higher financial return than 1 can do by themselves. Feed a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and ou feed him for life. We build trust and confidence in others when we teach. Being a teachr and a mentor is of the highest order, but remember, you can't give away what you don't have. When doing this, remeber to stay focused. Newer members many times have programs they are tying to promote and will often try to persuade you to join them. Stay focused on your goal, To your success!

PayitForward4Profits - Setting Goals

2007-01-07T19:39:00.000-06:00

Hi Everyone,

Todays Topic - Goal Setting. Business is about numbers, and numbers never lie. I don't know about anyone else, but it's easy to get caught up in day to day activities of running the business, learning, etc. We need to stay focused on why we are doing this ... money. Sure there are other reasons, creative reward, accomplishment, intrinsic reward and the like. But he truth is, and maybe I say this more to hear myself say it, a successful business is about the bottom line. How much is going out to run the business and how much is coming in. The P/L statement, this is the truth statement and the one that levels the playing field. A good place to start is a daily goal. My personal goal now is 2 new members daily. The number will increase over time. My personal goal over time is $5000.00 / month in 1 year and $10,000 / month in 2 years. After your business s up and running for a while, you can get an average of how much a member is worth in dollars. I would like to have 1000 members 1 year from now. My work is cut out. I have to be realistic, I am not as knowledgeable or savvy as the top members in PayitForward4Profits, but I know I can get there. Focusing on my goals forces me to keep priority on the single most important aspect of this business, continuing to always be bringing in new members. I don't know how many will upgrade and into how many programs, some will already be members of some programs. The exciting part is you never know where your next heavy hitter will come from. Let's get busy this week!

PayitForward4Profits - The New Business Year

2007-01-02T20:40:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

The network marketers are coming out of the woodwork, what a beautiful thing!
I don't know about you, but my ads are all ovet the internet, along with my phone # and email address. I've had a lot of emails and phone calls today, from people trying to promote this program or that one. I love it, free leads for Payitforward4Profits! No matter what a person is promoting, they are candidates for our business. I spent the last few weeks advertising heavily, especially on all the free sites, FFA's, message boards etc. Network marketers love those places because they know these places don't work for the most part, they use these sources for leads. I in turn, turn them into leads. I set up 2 new Adwords campaigns. This will be a great year and I am ready. I would encourage everyone to get busy! Action is how we reach our goals. Take care of what you need to take care of each day and the tomorrows take care of themselves. Time to run, work to do. To your success!

PayitForward4Profits - Saturday Morning Breakfast Call

2006-12-31T15:07:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year to all! I was on the Saturday Morning Breakfast call yesterday. It was not what I expected, nor what most people expected. Paul Birdsall knew that. It could have been construed as negative, but it was hard cold truths of traps many people fall into , not only for building your PayitForard4Profits business, but for succeeding at anything in life. Paul talked about quitting, being frustrated, being overwhelmed, and being a loser, ouch!! He made a very good point however, no one who is acheving success in this business has an unfair advantage, no one was born successful network marketer, a pro at Google Adwords etc. This business is work and a lot of learning. He asked everyone to make a "To Don't list" There were 7 items on the list as follows:

(1) Don't spend time with negative people.
(2) Don't spend time with uncoachable people.
(3) Don't ever stop enrolling new people all the time.
(4) Don't ever stop trying to help the masses.
(5) Don't ever stop getting better.
(6) Don't ever stop believing you can do it.
(7) Dont use the following words: try, might, maybe, or should.

I have to agree with what he said. I know for myself, I am having to learn how to do a lot of things I didn't previously know how to do. I want a better life for myself and my family and loved ones. No one is going to hand it to me. Not everything I do works. Successful people fail a lot, just ask one! No matter what happens, I continue to move forward and learn and adjust components n my business. I try to help people and share my successes. I can't let my goals seem unreachable. When you have successes, it's all worth it. My business is working and yours can too. If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't, right again. Not my original statement aforementioned by the way. Possibly Zig Ziegler? Always remember, we attract what we think about, good or bad. What do we have to gain for our pains? Massive long term passive residual income! I'll keep working, learning, and getting better. Have a safe holiday everyone and good thoughts and success to all for 2007.

PayItForward4Profits - Maintaining Your Business

2006-12-27T20:26:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Tonight I would like to talk about the day to day operations of the business. Like anything else, you have to have a daily plan of action and work consitently at this to be successful, even if you don't feel like it. My first and foremost is to make sure I'm continually bringing in new members. Goggle adwords is my best source of doing this. Google caters to a sophisticated and internet savvy type of a crowd. This is our best advertising source and the easist to target for fast results. I am continually learning and adjusting my campaigns. I surf Traffic Swarm daily. I have numerous ads running here and on Top Surfer and AdlandPro. I monitor my hit trackers in Response Magic for hits and more importantly sign-ups! I attend the live training calls when I'm able and listen to recorded training. I send messages to prospects in Direct Matches and AdlandPro. I talk to my sponsor on a regular basis and my downline members who are working their business. I offer them guidance and support. I'm continually looking for new advertising sources. I post here on my Blog. I submit my links to as many places as I can find. I learn at Success University. Try not to fall prey to a negative mindset when thing don't happen like you think they should. I was feeling that today when a brand new member emailed me for advice on upgrading and getting set up. That's all I needed. Remember, we are working toward long term residual income and freedom in our lives, and to not be dependent on the corporate 9 to 5. To your continued success!

PayitForward4Profits - Integrity in Your Business

2006-12-22T22:25:00.000-06:00

Good Evening all,

I had the day off work today (from my brick and mortar job) and I thought I was going to have this great, wonderful, relaxing day. It just didn't happen. I just wasn't a well balanced individual today. Ever have one of those days? I was my own worst enemy. Anyway, I wasn't going to post today, couldn't think of anything constructive to say. Then I remember a message I received from one of my newer downlines. I had left him a message congratulating him on enrolling his first new member. We never did speak, he left me a message and said his new enrollee was disabled and didn't have lot of money and he was taking it slow to make sure the person was comfortable with PayitForward4Profits. This brings me to my point. We're in this to make money, right? Yes, but we don't do anyone a service, ourselves included by trying to talk someone into something they can't afford or isn't right for them at the time. I have a similar situation with a disabled sponsee who just wants to make a little money, he upgraded in GDI and that's all, and that's O.K. We have to have integrity in all our affairs. I always have in my business affairs. It has served me well in the end every time. I don't sugar coat anything and I don't tell someone what they want to hear for my benefit or their short term "benefit". My upline conduct themselves in the same manner. I am surrounded by people like myself and for that I am grateful. The internet is wrought with scams and false promises. PayitForward4Profits is different in that respect and hopefully our contribution in this sense will help to restore people's faith in internet business and online network marketing. We have an obligation to conduct our business affairs with honesty and integrity. In this way, we all win and prosper in the end. Thanks.

PayItForward4Profits - Autoresponders

2006-12-20T21:15:00.000-06:00

Good evening,

At PayitForward4Profits we use 2 autoresponders. The first and most important is Response Magic. I currently use 5 responders, 2 are for the Advanced mentoring team. The first 3 are for the PayitForward website, the second for the 3 Step Secret website and the 3rd for Cash Flow Magic website. When a lead clicks on your link for one of the sites wherever you have it advertised, and they fill out their info, they automatically go into the appropriate responder and begin receiving letters in the series of pre-loaded letters. What a beautiful thing. Automation is the key to any successful online business wherever possible. Most won't sign up after the first message but some will. The remaining will sign up somewhere between 4 and 9 or so. I have my advanced mentoring message around day 8. Response Magic is a core piece of our business, it does a lot of work for us.The second responder we use is Traffic Oasis. This one is a little different. It is a part of the funded proposal, it's more expensive but pays a nice commission. We get leads with this every month and we have a responder set up with pre-loaded letters as well. That's all tonight. Thanks.

PayItForward4Profits Keep Your Mind Right

2006-12-19T21:41:00.000-06:00

Good evening,

Network marketing is work. We all have day to day problems with our business. The key is to stay focused and not get discouraged and set back. You have to continue to do your daily chores, work on and monitor your Google campaigns, surf the traffic exchanges, posting to your blog, posting to forums, following up with active members etc. Don't spend time with members who aren't upgrading or working on their business. Don't waste time trying to convince members who aren't doing anything. This is a numbers game. The people who get our system and want to build a business will begin. They will seek you out. Some members will produce a lot, some will fall in the middle production wise, and some very little. That's the way it is. Work with the people who want it. All the tools to succeed are in the back office and on the live and recorded training. Always keep your goal in mind and always continue to learn. Always continue to bring in new members, keep putting new members in the funnel. As your skills increase, your business will increase. Being a leader is working with and encouraging your productive members. Encourage them to attend tha calls with you. Compliment them on adding new members. Share with them what's working for you. I like to talk with my working and producing members at least every couple of weeks. Just writing these things down keeps me focused and doing my daily chores! Keep Working!

PayitForward4profits - Incorporating Your Business

2006-12-18T20:22:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

It's Monday, I work full time but that's no excuse for slacking. Tonights topic is about incorporating your business. This isn't necessary and no one is asking you to. My mindset is if your going to run a business, act like one! Owning a corporation has many obvioius benefits, the financial aspects. If you find a knowledgeable accountant like I did you might be surprised. One of the main benefits for myself is it keeps me in a more serious mindset, keeping separated doing this as a hobby and taking this much more seriously. I chose a sub chapter S Corp., popular among entrepeneurs but not necessarily the best choice for all. Consult an attorney and accountant to make the best choice for your situation. Another thing this does is to begin to separate your personal finances from your business finances and forces you to keep track of expenses, profits, etc. I run a P/L statement monthly for tax reasons but it gives me an idea, on paper of how I'm doing. Besides the obvious reason of my business expenses being a tax write off, it's more motivation to invest profits back in, you need to be doing this anyway. Of course this is more work but the routine becomes easy once you get used to it. All of this provides protection for your assets as well as yourself. Truly one of the more inteeligent decisions I've made. I would only recommend everyone to at least give it serious consideration.

To your success!

PayItForward4Profits - Traffic Exchanges Con't

2006-12-17T18:48:00.001-06:00

Hi all,

It's been a busy night. I joined PayitForward4Profits advanced mentoring team. My sponsor and I have decided on a primary business for PayitForward. I won't mention it by name but a lot of research went into this and it passes the "7 criteria acid test with flying colors". Anyways, I had mentioned AdlandPro. This is an interesting place. They have a traffic exchange. One thing here you will find is that you can choose keywords to tag to your ads. Adlandpro is a community. They offer a number of paid service advertising. Banner and text advertising, newsletter ads, search engine submission, classifieds, mailing list builder, URL tracker and more. I have to admit, there's a lot I need to learn here still. The one thing you need to be aware of in traffic exchanges is that you will get solicited for many business opportunities. You have to remember to stay focused on your purpose of promoting your primary business. I've made some interesting coneections at Adlandpro though. AdlandPro is a good palce to make friends andbuild a community presence. You can also build your own community webpage, I have yet to do this. In a serious marketers world and in my own experience, traffic exchanges are not going to build you a huge downline but do serve a valuable purpose. I will end here tonight. I'm tired after a long day and need to work on my PayitForward business. To your success and til tomorrow!

PayItForward4Profits - Other Advertising Sources

2006-12-17T18:38:00.000-06:00

Good evening,
There are so many places to advertise a business on the internet. How does one where to start or what will be effective? Good question. It definitely takes some experimentation. One source I found if you're not a savvy advertiser is Traffic Testers. They test many advertsers on the net and post the results. You can access them for $10.00 a month or one time. They test traffic exchanges, banner exchanges, link exchanges, safelists, Ezines, anything you can think of. You can send them suggestions if you would like to see something tested. I have found them to be an excellent source. They have traffic packages of various levels and you can run ads on their site. Newspapers can also be a good source. They still exist you know! Email marketing can also be very effective as well. Please conform to the Can Spam act or you could find yourself in a lot of trouble. Be creative, try different things and take some calculated risks and have some fun! Be careful not to guarantee results. Signing off for today.

PayItForward4Profits - The Power of PPC Advertising

2006-12-17T18:36:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

Lets go over the topic of pay per click advertising. This is easily one of the best, if not the best advertising in the internet. It can be highly targeted, based on keywords, geographic area, specific websites and more. It does come with a price however, literally and figuratively. It can be pricey depending on where you do it and can also be frustrating. My personal favorite is Google Adwords, the best bang for the buck I've found. It can be an unruly beast if you don''t understand how it works. I personally recommend an e-book by Perry Marshall titled "The definitive guide to Google Adwords". It will set you back around $50.00 bucks but can save you fortunes in the long run. With a properly set up campaign, you can have converting traffic within hours for as little as 5 cents a click if you find the "madic keyword". I won't get into a lot of detail, I leave that to the experts, I'm still learning. It's a necessary tool for building a large downline in a network marketing business, free advertising is great, but like with all things, you get what you pay for. That's all for today. Thanks.

PayItForward4Profits - Motivation

2006-12-17T18:34:00.000-06:00

Dave here. Staying motivated is key to success in any business, I think especially in network marketing and internet marketing. We spend a lot of time on a computer...alone...and at home...with no boss. Payitforward4Profits realizes this and really addresses this on the the live Saturday morning breakfast call. Paul Birdsall and Joel Broughton talk and have a featured successful PayitForward guest speaker. They talk about keeping the end goal in sight, the dream, and continued education through Success University, also a part of the program. There are also numerous other live calls during the week. It makes a big difference and helps you stay connected and focused. They always mention all the members who have achieved a new level of success. They also continually mention where they came from and their struggles as well. Puts a more human element to the whole process. I honestly don't know many places you can find this. Here we also learn about new developements. The 3 step secret website and program has been completely re-done and we are excited. One of the focuses on the call today was staying focused through the holidays, we always keep our "head in the game" That's all for today everybody. Enjoy your evening!

PayitForward4Profits-Traffic Exchanges

2006-12-17T18:33:00.000-06:00

Hi all,

Tonight lets talk a little about traffic exchanges. In PayitForward4Profits, our program of choice is TrafficSwarm, Traffic Swarm is the most established and most visited traffic exchange on the internet. check their Alexa ranking, pretty impressive. That's reason one. The second most important reason is that most of the people who use TrafficSwam already promote a business and are already familiar with internet markeing and network marketing. Some very successful and some still strugglng. This is our perfect audience on all fronts. The marketer already having some success can ake their business to a whole new level. On a recent conference call, one of our members, a woman, already a very successful marketer has tripled her business through PayitForward4Profits. These type of people quickly see the value of a Funded Proposal and our marketing plan. For the struggling marketer, we offer a solution, a proven marketing plan anyone can join regardless of experience level and all the training a person can stand. We also use Adlandpro, more on that later. I also personally use Top Surfer. That's all for tonight folks. I sincerely hope this information is informative and helpful and thanks for visiting.

PayItForward4Profits - About Funded Proposals

2006-12-17T18:30:00.001-06:00

Hi all,

Tonight I would like to talk a little more about Funded Proposals. We also use another program called Traffic Oasis. This one is a little pricier but the commissions are also much greater. With this program, you also receive leads every month.I use the plan with 185 email leads. These are quality leads that are not sold over and over again like most a person would purchase from a lead company. They are only sold once to the person using Traffic Oasis. They are downloaded into one of three autoresponders of your choice, already pre-loaded with time proven letters or you can use your own. To dispel any myths, GDI is not a primary business that meets "the acid test". A person would have to work long and hard to make any real money with this as you only receive $1.00 per month for every enrollee who stays. We also use Success University, another program with a good compensation plan, it has international appeal and is also the most visited site of it's kind. The other benefit is that there is a lot to be learned from Success University and it will keep your "head in the game" if you use it for it's intended purpose. Next we will look at traffic exchanges, stay tuned.

Thanks - Dave

Good evening all,

Just got off of an inpromptu conference call with PayitForward4Profts. My upline sponsor called me and invited me. I'm on what's called an advanced mentoring team. When was the last time your program called you? Anyway, the topic was first about creating wealth. It was about the importance of creating walth and perpetuating that wealth. Being responsible with and for wealth. So many get a taste of it and go out and buy toys and things, maybe even a house. The intelligent people reinvest at least a good portion of that wealth back into the business. For PayitForward members it's advertising. One of best and most quickly productive ways to do that is to heavily advertise GDI - Global Domains International, part of the funded proposal. One of the keys is to promote that heavily and earn the weekly bonuses. $100.00 for every 5 members in a week, there are larger bonuses for more new members. Then you reinvest it back in the business, ad infinitum. That way the advertising continues to pay for itself, starting to get the picture? That's only one of the funded proposal components. Come on back for the next post and learn more.

To your success! - Dave Knop

Hi all,

Dave here. Hope everyone had a good weekend. So, you have a business you're trying to promote. (If you don't have a primary business we can help you find one or if you're not sure if the one you have is worthy of promoting, we have a tool to see if it passes "the acid test") Anyway, how do you effectively and consistently advertise your business? That's where PayitForward4Profits comes to the rescue. First of all, advertising and promotion cost money. Hence the Funded Proposal or Funded Sponsoring Franchise. Some of the components in PayitForward4Profits actually pay for advertising your business. The purpose of Payitforward is to promote your primary business in a way that you're not "out of pocket" to do so. What makes it even better is that you have residual income streams generating cash flow in the same process. You will make money even if nobody joins your primary business! Doesn't get much better than that. Signing out for today.

Why PayitForward4Profits Works

2006-12-17T18:20:00.000-06:00

Hi Everyone!

Great to be here and Look forward to communicating and networking with like minded individuals. My name is Dave Knop, I'm from Chicago. I've been working online since early this year. Like most, I came seeking to start a business online, having no experience to speak of, I joined a lot of programs, bought into a lot of the hype, pre-launches etc. Of course none of the programs worked. I took a beating and felt like a failure. But I knew it was possible to build an online business that could be successful and provide multiple streams of residual income that eveyone talked about. I was embarrassed by my failures but not willing to give up. I was fortunate. My sponsor in another program directed to PayitForwar4Profits. I almost passed it by, licking my wounds from previous ventures and too tired to try again. But I joined. The gentleman who brought me in was a good guy, we had established a rapport so I decided, O.K. , I trust this guy enough to try again. Wow, am I glad I did. I've learned so much and the business is working! Finally! PayitForward4Profits is real. It's not a program in and of itself. It's a proven marketing program, based on a Funded Sponsoring Franchise. The training is fantastic. If you are reading this blog, and are looking for direction, this is it. This is not a get rich quick overnight scheme - smoke and mirrors. If you already have a primary program you believe in, this is the system to market it with, it works, period. That's all for today. Stay tuned for more details on the hows and whys of how Payitforward4pfofits can work for your business.
